Cameras create a conflict: A letter

I would support a vote on the use or banning of traffic cameras by voters. Due process is being completely disregarded by the operators of these cameras. I am a cautious driver and do not believe the intersections with these cameras do anything to deter drivers.

As the revenues continue to climb, the city uses the cash income as a tool to feed the coffers of government -- and I feel there is a major conflict of interest. Excessive fines confirm this point. Tracking my movement down the streets of my city is also an infringement of my civil rights.

I have nothing to hide but do see this as a deterioration of living in a free society.
